Now every time I try, I end up fighting with the makefile.I don't know whether this helps you, but I underwent the same troubles and couldn't find a solution either. The bright sight is that I use ArchLinux with the most recent dmd version, so the downloads run through smoothly and afaict it picks up my local version of phobos in phobos-prerelease.make -f posix.mak apidocs-serve LATEST=2.070.2 <-- place in the command line to skip network traffic *starts downloading crap from downloads.dlang.org that I already have*Alright, let's try that again.make -f posix.mak apidocs-serve LATEST=2.070.2 *still downloads crap I already have* *Phobos build errors because latest Phobos isn't compatible with DMD 2.069.2*How do I make it use ../dmd and ../phobos?

It's hard to tell what goes wrong when building the docs builds like 6? big codebases.

Now every time I try, I end up fighting with the makefile.What is it downloading? It needs to get the stable versions of dmd/phobos to build the stable documentation. It places those in ../{dmd,phobos,druntime}-$LATEST. It also needs to have a host D compiler to build DMD. I don't remember what the default is, but IIRC you can set either HOST_DMD to the full path to a working DMD binary, or AUTO_BOOTSTRAP=1 to have it download one.

It works when rebuilding after make clean, which of course takes a significant amount of time.
